Whoohooo.... I'm half way there!!!

Can you believe it, I'm half way done with my chemo!! What a good feeling.

This last chemo seems to have been a bit better than round two. I am already back on my feet and feeling fairly normal. Aerin was my nurse and she did a most amazing job. With my "special" taste buds, Aerin managed to find things that tasted good and did a wonderful job keeping my fridge stocked with tea.

Aerin and I enjoyed a few days of pre-chemo fun where I was feeling terrific. We wandered down west 4th and had a great time looking at all the neat stores. For 2 days after chemo I was still feeling well enough to get out and about but not well enough to do the walking. The solution: hello courtesy wheelchairs in Costco and the Malls!!! I wasn't up to being out long but it was still fun to be pushed around and be able to go out with my friends.

About 3 days after chemo the drugs really took effect and Aerin was introduced to the very exciting wet noodle version of me. She got me through it like a pro and here I sit a day after she has gone home feeling very close to normal.

I am still having some pain and as a result will be having an early CT scan next Wednesday. This should give them some idea how I am progressing with the treatments and if it is the ulcer or the cancer that is causing me pain. I am glad they are investigating this right away. No more sitting around and waiting for me, this girl is going to scream at the top of her lungs if she has too. I'm not going to be ignored any more!

Well, so ends my update. I will post again soon.
Later alligators,
